Google Maps crashing on Lollipop/ART - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is pretty much my only real problem on my Nexus 4. My phone just doesn't like the Google Maps app. Every time I start it up, it crashes within three seconds. I noticed that this problem began appearing since I switched to ART when I was on Kitkat 4.4.4. On Dalvik the app runs fine. Somehow waters also look very distorted on my phone no matter what the runtime or Android version it's running. In the logcat it's printing stuff about some libraries (libGLESv2_adreno.so and libandroid_runtime.so).
Has anyone experienced this before and know a fix to this problem? Thanks in advance.

Same problem. Started with latest maps update. Still happening with a fresh install of a new rom.
Beat guess is low system memory as lollipop takes more space.

Android Market Problems

Anyone having problems with the Market? Able to download apps but they will not install, been doing it since yesterday evening. Don't think its the ROM i am using, but I just want to check with everyone else. Thanks

I had an update to titanium backup hang during installation this morning, but I cancelled and restarted and it was fine. No problems installing other apps, it should be working fine.
Been having the same issue. Just let it be and it will eventually install/download.
I've been having this problem for a while - a download will hang, and I'll have to cancel and restart it. I usually don't have a problem with the installation.
Same for me too... market hangs on download and install...

Mine finally allowed me to update and begin some installs. Hope everyone elses works out too.
Same problem using the stock rom, switched to zippe's DesireHD rom and had no problems with the market.
Yah I had the same issue as well and it happens on multiple roms.
I used to be able to fix it by logging into Google talk app but I have issues signing into that sometimes as well.
Yeah, been having major issues since last night. Made a thread in Q&A about it. I've been having the hanging downloads for a while, but used to be able to restart them, or at worst restart the phone and they would work. Last night, even a factory reset wasn't working. Then they started working for no good reason at all. Now the problem is that 4 apps refuse to install. They are Google Sky Map, MiniSquadron!, Frozen Bubble Breaker, and Frozen Bubble Breaker Editor. These all fail to install with Unknown Error -18. Really annoying since I just bought MiniSquadron and Google Sky Map is one of my favorite apps. I hope that these market issues get fixed soon.

I also notice that some apps from the market won't install on certain roms..... like I couldn't update Google streetview on ava Rom 9.... but I was able to install Google sky map just now....
Maybe u want to try a different rom to see if that solves the issue of not being to install certain apps from the android market.
hang ups

Google Currents keeps crashing 4.2.2 N10

Hi guys,
I noticed that after the 4.2.2 OTA update on my N10, that my Google Currents app continues to crash every time I launch it. I've rebooted my device many times but to no avail, it doesn't let me keep Currents open for longer than 3 seconds
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Working fine for me. Maybe try un installing and reinstall.

Agree with y2whisper -
You could try going to Settings / Apps and finding Currents, and then clearing Cache and Data and starting it up again. Or you could uninstall it, go to the Play Store and download / install a fresh copy of the latest version.

CM 11 - Problem Installing Application And Notification Lag

Hi. I'm using CM 11 on my Nexus 4 for three weeks now. It's great but I have a problem with an application called AutoMapa (it's Polish navigation system). This app worked well on original KitKat 4.4.2, but after changing the rom I couldn't install it. It showed me "android application cannot be installed" message. I thought it was AutoMapa's fault, but a few days ago, the developer released a new version 1.7.0 where all nexus 4 bugs are fixed, but the app still cannot be installed. When I installed CM 11 I've changed Dalvik to ART, but after a few hours I switched back and never changed again.
I've downloaded this app directly from the developer's site: http://w3.automapa.pl/?PEI=53169&lng=PL&cid=254269&file=261203
But if you are not familiar with the Polish language, here's that app on zippyshare: http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/73256817/file.html
It's 7 days trial, on developer's site you can download it for free, on google play that trial costs around 1€.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Also, I noticed a small lag with e-mail notifications. When Nexus's screen is turned off, it notifies me about a new e-mail after a few minutes. Is that fixable?

Did you managed to make this Automapa working on CM11. Yesterday I flashed the CM11 and GPS is working for other apps but not this. I also tried Navigon same result.
Thanks in advance

Android 5 lag

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing lag on android 5 on the grouper nexus 7? Some apps fine then some apps like google + and Facebook start to load and just force close after a delay.
Is there anything I can do?
Running stock ROM
Thanks in advance
I'm having the same issue as well with some apps and just overall lag. Apps will probably be fixed once developers for the apps update to support Lollipop and work out the bugs.
Thanks TheSocialGuy.
Since back on Kit Kat, I realised Facebook bogged down my tablet.
So, unfortunate as it is, I just don't use Facebook on my Nexus 7 any more.

I also stopped using the Facebook app and switched to a webview app instead. Works pretty smoothly on the N7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-facebook-browser-t2864561
I noticed Facebook was the issue as well. I couldn't even use any app that used FB. Even Friendcaster rendered my N7 unusable.
I am also experiencing a lag with almost everything since installing Android 5. Start up is much slower but power down is now very quick.

Gallery Problem - Android 5.0.1

I have searched the web, no one seems to have this problem?
So since the new gallery app, I think it came with Android 5. Whenever I download an image, from web or from Google drive it is blurred in the gallery, it is also blurred when I load it up full screen.
I have disabled 'Auto Enhance' I am not sure what this does but thought it could be the problem, this has made no difference. I have to edit every picture I download from my google drive, and enhance the 'deatil' option and 'sharpening' to fix each one. I don't want to be doing this as this is no doubt a drop in quality.
I also experience this problem on my Nexus 7 same android version. However my Nexus 10 does not seem to be doing the same, or if it is it is a lot less apparent. maybe just due to the higher resolution and screen size.
Any help would be appreciated....
Has no one got any ideas on this? I could post it in nexus 10 and 7 threads to, but don't really want to spam the forum.

Did you try to do wipe data and cache of this new gallery as well as the hidden folder /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails?
If that didn't work for you, you could try KitKat's gallery app or a completely different one ( see Play Store)
Happy new year, by the way
Yup, having this same problem with my Nexus 4 running Android 5.0.1
Screen captures are also blurry and pictures transferred from computer to phone are same.
Any solution would be helpful
same problem
I used to have the same problem in 5.0 . I even confirmed with quick pic and some other gallery. Ever since i updated to 5.0.1 problem seems to be resolved. Still searching for a good gallery app. The apps i for from play store are way too slow.
